NA is too spineless?

KING XXXI·Nov 7, 2018·3 votes·1,925 views

I've been to many many regions.

in KR, you can say whatever you want. No punishment. in EUW, you can say whatever you want. No punishment. in EUNE, you can say whatever you want. I've got Honor 5. in LAN, you can say whatever you want. No punishment. in NA, you say one thing to your intentionally feeding bot lane, enjoy ban.

Now, when you say I'm toxic, I don't go around calling people N words or making death threats, or telling people to go kill themselves, like you think I do. Most of my chat restrictions come from me arguing with my teammates who refuse to listen to me.

I've said some of the most vile and disturbing things in other regions with absolutely no repercussion, yet having so much as a peeping chat with someone else in NA can potentially get you banned.

Why is NA so spineless? And has it ever occurred to anyone that Riot does this for money? Banning people only causes them to rebuy the same skins on the new account they will eventually make (speaking from experience).

They can get away with it because only in NA can you be so butthurt and soft that you feel the need to report someone because your feelings got a boo boo.

There's a discussion that was posted just before yours with a 2-week ban. 20 minutes ago. I'm not running through the rest of your list, but there's something wildly different from reality and what you're putting forward.

And has it ever occurred to anyone that Riot does this for money? Banning people only causes them to rebuy the same skins on the new account they will eventually make (speaking from experience).

I'm not sure how getting banned and having all of your bought content removed is incentive to buy anything else from this game, let alone rebuy. But hey, you do you.

I take it your English teacher never taught you what hyperbole is.

Yes, in extreme cases, you can get banned, obviously, you don't need to have 200 iq to figure that one out. But generally, 99% of the time, you can't really get punished for saying things that would otherwise get you punished in NA. And from my experience, you can say a lot worse things without getting punished.

I don't know what that guy did to get a 2-week ban, but it's irrelevant.

Whatever. You made a claim without any indication of exaggeration, even stating "I've been to many regions."

KING XXXINov 7, 20182 votes

That's not the hyperbole. I have indeed been to all the regions I've stated above.

What I haven't done is taken to the extreme to intentionally do everything I possibly could to get banned. I acted as my usual "toxic" self, and received no punishments for it. The point of this post is simply point out that NA is too sensitive compared to other regions.

ModPeriscopeNov 7, 20186 votes

I'm talking about this claim:

you can say whatever you want. No punishment.

and rebutted that claim. And it frankly doesn't feel like hyperbole, especially when the point of your post is to say that NA bans come from being mildly toxic.

Or is mildly toxic hyperbole too?

Well, I apologize that I am unable to make this easier than it already is. Have a good day.

ModPeriscopeNov 7, 20184 votes

No offense taken. I think I owe you an apology. I came off as pretty confrontational from my first post.

I've only ever played on the NA server, so frankly my knowledge of your statements is limited to what I find on the forums.

Based on what I see on NA/EUW forums, I find players' logs indistinguishable when it comes to what server they play in. But every server is going to have their own Thresh old for what's punishable.

For instance, Korean servers strike "your mom" jokes pretty harshly, whereas that's just not the case in NA (afaik).

You've been really civil in this discourse. Thanks for that.

Hyperbole: exaggerated statements or claims not meant to be taken literally. Noun. lol

Mrfancypantsbiblereferncename likes to put people down about hyperbole but can't recognize the sarcastic comments this is rich [slayer-pantheon-popcorn]

I had to google hyperbole. T_T

Very scientific presentation.

Agreed.

The only thing this proves is that you are a scum of a human being. very dark. I like.

The irony in this post LOL

Stars ShaperNov 7, 20181 votes

More like that in EUW ppl can argue without asking others to terminate life.exe (which brings to a lot less automatic bans).

KR servers are just non-moderated which is a huge issue.

KING XXXINov 7, 20182 votes

Is it an issue? I don't see very many Korean players having an issue with toxicity except for a few NA players who play in our region. Even pros are toxic. Korea has been the best region for the majority of League's history, usually because we're strictly competitive and don't take crap from anyone.

Not sure if you're familiar with the term "win trading", but it's a huge problem in KR.

KING XXXINov 7, 20182 votes

Yes but this isn't a post about win trading, it's a post about toxicity.

Not sure how you are able to confuse the two.

VuxemNov 7, 20183 votes

Do you not consider intentionally feeding to be toxic?

loli fidlerNov 7, 20181 votes

while i must agree that inting is a problem that is A. not what this discussion is about and B.should be considered a way worse offence than being toxic (while both are technically toxic behavior the conversation is about speech)
